Why it matters
Seafood is a globally traded food, and British consumers primarily eat five species groups, including cod, haddock, salmon, tuna, and prawns. The research provides a historical view into how domestic food habits have adapted to changes in global fish supply and trade.
The Indian Ocean region is vital for supporting island life, economic stability, food supply, and trade.
